// (error checking omitted)
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
std::ifstream ifs("infile.txt ");
std::getline(if s, line);
std::cout << "string contains: " << line << '\n';
return 0;
}

Use another getline to get the next line.

Here's an alternative solution:

#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
using std::ifstream;
using std::stringstre am;
using std::string;
using std::cout;

ifstream file("Test.txt" );
stringstream buffer;
buffer << file.rdbuf();
string contents = buffer.str();

cout << "Contents: " << contents << '\n';
}

Regards,
